What kind of people usually vote for the Lib Dems in the UK ?

Varies and they are sort of for those who dislike Tories and Labour.  Used to have base in Southwest and Scottish Highlands but much less so.

In 1992, 1997 and 2001 mostly people who were tired of Tories but felt Labour was a bridge too far.

In 2005 a mix of students who liked their promise of free tuition and many who opposed Iraq war (Liberal Democrats only major party to oppose it).

2010 mostly people in centre to centre-right tired of Labour but still not sold on Tories.

2017 mostly strategic left wing voters who wanted to defeat Tories and happened to live in few constituencies Liberal Democrats had better odds.

2019 a mix of wealthy remainers who were against Brexit, but found Corbyn's economic policies too extreme.

Fact it is not a cohesive consistent group unlike Labour & Tories is big reason they struggle as they lack a solid base main two do.
and what will 2023 lib dems voter be?
